SAUGERTIES, N.Y. -- Two town police officers will be on an upcoming episode of the A&E television show "Intervention" thanks to one of them spotting a fight inside a home while driving past it, according to the police chief.

Saugerties Chief Joseph Sinagra said Officer Corey Tome saw the fight through a picture window while on routine patrol last fall, not knowing the show was being filmed inside.

"Intervention," according to the show's website, "profiles people whose dependence on drugs and alcohol or other compulsive behavior has brought them to a point of personal crisis or estranged them from their friends and loved ones."

After spotting the fight, Tome and fellow Officer Brett Rell went into the house.

"One guy actually got knocked unconscious," Sinagra said of the people involved in the fight.

In a video provided to the chief by the producer of the show, two men are seen fighting inside the home. One of them, named Ryan, appears to be intoxicated and ends up on the floor after being repeatedly punched by the other man. Tome and Rell arrest the man who punched Ryan, as well as a woman in the home.

Sinagra said he had to sign releases for his officers to be shown in the episode, which will air at 10 p.m. Monday on A&E.

A publicist for "Intervention" could not be reached for comment Thursday.

An online description of Monday's episode states, "Ryan, 25, is a sweet, sensitive man whose alcohol addiction is spiraling out of control as he and his fiancee are expecting their first child in a matter of months."
